After Oda Yoshinobu and Takeda Shingen both returned to their main formations, the 40,000 Takeda troops were rapidly transforming into a formation that seemed very strange to him under the gaze of Oda Yoshinobu, "This seems to be...... That one...... What's coming......" Oda Yoshinobu looked at the formation of the Takeda Army in front of him with some confusion and muttered, and then turned his head to look at Li Huamei on the side.
"Lord, that is the Crane Wing Array, which is one of the Takeda Eight Formations created by Takeda Shingen's General Wuhou Eight Formations after modification according to the actual situation in Japan." Li Huamei said in a deep voice when she heard this. It's just that after speaking, seeing Oda Yoshinobu's still puzzled expression, he suddenly helplessly explained to Oda Yoshinobu.
The so-called Wuhou Eight Formations is a formation created by Wuhou Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has a more resounding name, Eight Formations!
The sky covers, the earth, the wind, the clouds, the dragon, the tiger's wings, the birds, the snakes, are the eight arrays.
By the way, these eight formations are improved from Sun Bin's eight formations, which are square, circle, sparse, number, cone, goose-shaped, hook-shaped, and Xuanxiang eight formations.
The Takeda Eight Formations evolved from the Wuhou Eight Formations, which are the Eight Formations of Fish Scales, Sharp Arrows, Crane Wings, Glaives, Fang Yuan, Wild Goose Walking, Long Snake, and Heng Yoke.
"These eight formations were created by Shingen Takeda?" Oda Yoshinobu asked in surprise, in his impression, these eight formations should have been created by a certain god of a certain dynasty in China.
"The Takeda Eight Formations are transformed on the basis of the Wuhou Eight Formations, but the core is actually similar, but it is more suitable for the Takeda family's play and is also more suitable for the terrain of the country. Otherwise, do you think that Takeda Shingen can become the number one military lawyer today with just a few words from Xu Rulin? In addition, there are previous dynasties in the Ming Kingdom, and there are many similar or overhauled formations, but the names are different. Li Huamei said a little speechlessly.
"Uh...... I see......" Oda Yoshinobu scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment. The world says that Oda Yoshinobu is a contemporary celebrity, but if they know that Oda Yoshinobu doesn't know anything about formations, will they be collectively dizzy? Anyway, now Li Huamei is a little dizzy.
But it doesn't matter, although Oda Yoshinobu doesn't know the formation, but someone does.
"Near left! It's up to you to take command! Oda Yoshinobu looked at Shimazuo and said in a deep voice.
"This?!" Shimazo looked at Oda Yoshinobu in shock when he heard this, although there had been a similar situation before, but now it is the first battle with the Takeda family, and it seems to be a decisive battle!
"I believe that your command will definitely not be inferior to Takeda Shingen! After all, ever since you became my retainer, you've been learning the art of commanding by heart. Oda Yoshinobu patted Shima's left shoulder and said.
When Shima Zuo heard this, he wanted to say something, but Oda Yoshinobu had already directly ordered, "Now the whole army is under the command of Zuo Jin!" Left near, act immediately, the Takeda Army will not wait for us all the time! ”
Oda Yoshinobu said decisively, at this time, the formation of the Takeda Army was about to be transformed. Although Oda Yoshinobu doesn't know the formation very well, it is obvious that if the Oda army's current phalanx is used against the Takeda family's crane wing array, no matter what you think, it seems that you will lose.
"Yes!" Hearing this, Dao Zuojin no longer hesitated, and immediately turned his head to look at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Pass the order, and set up the front arrow!" ”
Soon, under the gaze of Takeda Shingen, the Oda Army, who had been standing calmly in place, moved instantly, "It is worthy of the army of Shura......" Takeda Shingen looked at the heart of the Oda Army and admired.
I saw that the Oda army was constantly changing positions under the order of the island left, but although the actions of the Oda army were fast, they were fast and not chaotic, and the whole process was like flowing water, and they didn't even make too many sounds. Although it is slower than the Takeda army, the Oda army is almost in formation at the same time as the Takeda army, and this speed is impossible not to praise even Takeda Shingen, who is above the top.
"The so-called order and prohibition are nothing more than that, right?" Takeda Shingen sighed again, he always thought that the Takeda Army was also a first-class strong army in the whole world, but today's Oda Army really opened his eyes.
"My lord, the Oda family can do this, I think it's just because of the standing reasons. As long as the Honke can take, or even only Owari, Mino, and Ise, then the Honke will also be able to form an army composed entirely of standing reserves. Muto Masayuki replied in a deep voice when he heard this.
"Hehe, standing is only part of the reason, look there." Takeda Shingen chuckled and pointed to a position in the Oda army's formation ahead.
"Huh?!" Looking at the situation, Muto Masayuki suddenly noticed something unusual, "It's so bad?!" Muto Masayuki muttered to himself in shock.
The place that Takeda Shingen is referring to is the location of the Matsudaira army, and it can be clearly seen that the pace of the Matsudaira army and the Oda army is not at the same frequency at all. The Oda army had always maintained a very fast pace in the transition of formation, and there was no obstacle to the movement of troops, as if they had known where other troops would appear at what time and at what time.
And what about the Matsudaira Army? But it behaved much worse. Of course, there is a big reason for this, because Oda Yoshinobu's troops and Matsudaira Ieyasu's troops have never trained together, but on the other hand, it can also be considered that the troops of Matsudaira are far inferior to Oda Yoshinobu's troops, and they are trained in formations.
"Hehe, but speaking of which, it's really interesting that the other party is ready to use the Arrow Array against my Crane Wing Array~" Takeda Shingen chuckled.
The Crane Wing Formation is to place the general in the rear of the formation and protect it with heavy troops. The left and right wings are spread out like the wings of a crane, so you can outflank the enemy on the left and right, and you can also attack the enemy who breaks through to the middle of the formation together. The biggest key to this formation is the command ability of the general, and the two wings must be opened and closed as if they were their own arms, and they must cooperate closely to exert the greatest power.
The Blade Formation is the complete opposite, although the generals are also located in the middle and rear of the formation, the main forces of the Blade Array are concentrated in the middle, and the front is lined up in a formation like arrows. The troops at the arrows could withstand pressure from both flanks of the enemy, but the core idea of this formation was only one, a central breakthrough. This kind of formation and the Fish Scale Array are somewhat imaginary, but compared to the Fish Scale Array, because there is one more arrow, its defense will be slightly better than the Fish Scale Array, but also because of the dispersion of troops, it also leads to inferior to the Fish Scale Array in the power of the central breakthrough.
"My lord, it is said that Shimazuo Kon, one of the three major generals under Oda Yoshinobu, is very proficient in military science, and in the wars in which Oda Yoshinobu participated, he commanded operations on behalf of Oda Yoshinobu several times." Muto Masayuki said in a deep voice. He has been to the Oda family several times, and Muto Masayuki's understanding of the Oda family is obviously extraordinary.
"Oh? Is it? Hearing this, Takeda Shingen suddenly showed a strange smile, "Could it be that Oda Yoshinobu, who is known as Shura, doesn't know how to command troops?" ”
But after saying that, Takeda Shingen shook his head and said, "But these don't matter, as long as you defeat the troops in front of you, Yuanjiang and even Sanhe will be in the family's pocket!" ”
"Pass the order, and the whole army will move forward a hundred steps!" Takeda Shingen looked at the Oda Army in the distance and said in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
"It's coming!" Seeing this, Shima Zuojin's heart tightened, but then he heard Oda Yoshinobu's voice, "Zuojin, let go and do it, I believe you!" Everyone else believes in you too! In addition, when I fight with the Grim Reaper, it is also up to you to command! ”
"Yes! The subordinates will definitely live up to the expectations of the lord! Dao Zuo replied loudly, "Pass the order, and the whole army will move forward a hundred steps!" ”
"Stride, stomp!" The Takeda Army advanced about a hundred meters with the slow order. At the same time, the Oda family also advanced about 100 meters. The distance between the two armies was already less than 800 meters at this time.
"Keep moving a hundred steps!!" Takeda Shingen and Shima Zuo ordered at the same time.
"Stride, stomp!"
As the two armies continued to advance, the distance between the two sides was less than 600 meters, and at this time, the entire tripartite plain was filled with a solemn atmosphere. If you sweep over the faces of the soldiers of the troops on both sides, even a veteran general like Baba Nobubo, who doesn't know how many battles he has participated in in his life, his expression becomes very solemn.
And in Oda Yoshinobu's array, Uden Nagatari looked at all this with a shocked face, from the beginning to the present, the shock that Oda Jun gave him was too great. The so-called mule is a horse, and you will know it when you pull it out and slip it. Although Uden Nagasho didn't know how to march and set up formations, at this time, the Oda army changed formations from the beginning to the current forward, and these two behaviors have already made Uden Nagasho see that it is obviously different from the Imagawa army.
Swift! Neat! Especially the latter, the Udanden Nagashi saw the neatly arranged sequence of the Oda Army, and he was so shocked that he almost dropped his eyeballs. In fact, Matsudaira Ieyasu, Sakai Tadaji, and even Takeda Shingen and others opposite were also very shocked by this.
The reason is very simple, although Oda Yoshinobu's troops are not as exaggerated as the horizontal and vertical lines of various phalanxes in the great military parade in later generations, but in this era, it is already a very, very terrifying achievement. At least neither the Matsudaira Army nor the Takeda Army could do this.
This was specially requested by Oda Yoshinobu when he was training in the vicinity of Shimazuo, on the grounds that it was good-looking. But is it really just good-looking? At least Shima Zuojin doesn't think so, otherwise he will definitely not agree with his character. However, at the beginning, Shima only felt that this kind of training was helpful for the soldier's control and discipline, and it also helped to a certain extent during combat, but when the actual effect was seen through the training, Shima Zuojin immediately became obsessed with this method.
